{"product_id":"herlands-megha-mohan-9781787304772","title":"Herlands","description":"A vital exploration of women-led communities worldwide and what they can teach us from BBC global correspondent Megha Mohan.\nSociety isn’t working for women. Or any of us.\nBut what if the rules were different?\nImagine a world in which women have all the power. A world in which they work together to shape their rules, societies and futures. In myth, literature and throughout history such groups have always existed, and today all-women communities thrive all over the world. In this urgent and ground-breaking book, Megha Mohan goes in search of the roots of these societies, discovering a vibrant, worldwide history brought together here for the first time. Herlands asks: How and why do these groups exist today? And what can the rest of society learn from them?\nUsing her great-grandmother’s matrilineal Nair community as a starting point, Mohan introduces readers to some of the countless women-only groups living on their own terms, often operating discretely from the male-dominated cultural and political mainstream. From the Megalia feminist ‘trolls’ of South Korea, a secret Womyn’s Land in the American Deep South, gatherings of millionaire girlbosses and the rise and fall of a women-only island in the Baltic Sea, to the survivors of sexual violence in rural Kenya, Herlands will offer a global look at women’s community and why it matters for us all.","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51305869377824,"sku":"9781787304772","price":18.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781787304772_2445498.jpg?v=1772766112","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/herlands-megha-mohan-9781787304772","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
